Free Vintage Knitting Patterns
r/knitting - Free Vintage Knitting Patterns
hey I found that the british history museum is sharing a ton of vintage knitting and crochet patterns from the 40s for free!
Despite what the original Reddit post says, this is just the V&A’s collection. If you haven’t checked it out, you should. If you already know that collection by heart, I’ve saved you a couple of click-throughs.
First project of 2021: Misurina by Caitlin Hunter.
Beautiful winter morning in Toronto.❄️ I am about to cast on The DRK Everyday by Andrea Mowrey.
The hat-weather season is coming soon. And I think it’s an excellent excuse to show off the lovely Cheslie Togue, which I recently tested for talented @kyiomeebee! This pattern is so amazing!

As I appear to have some spare time on my hands, I’ve decided now is probably a good opportunity to get back to designing. Before I do though, I just wanted to do a brief throwback.
I was reminded about this hat earlier this week. I designed it about a decade ago, making it quite possibly the first thing I ever designed, even though I only got around to writing it down last year.
This hat was designed for and named after my mum, Julia. She’s 62 years old and works as a school crossing lady, and is still going into work every day because the kids need her. In Britain our Mothers Day is this Sunday, and I’m not going to be able to see her on that day, or probably in the next month, or potentially even until after her birthday in Summer.
So far, no one else has made this hat. Or at least, if they have, they haven’t posted it to Ravelry.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this, other than I’m kinda homesick and would love it if more of my mum’s namesake were out there. From now until the end of the week, any sales of this pattern are going towards buying my mum chocolate because I love her. And also because when she buys herself chocolate she usually buys high dairy-content despite being dairy intolerant because it’s ‘cheaper’.
